Vegetables

This is not exciting for anyone but my little family, but I thought it was worth documenting. Today Casey ate vegetables. It was amazing. She is the PICKIEST eater and so strong-willed. We have a hard time getting her to eat healthy food and she does not like to try new things. It is not that we haven't tried. She gets time-outs, rewards, goes to bed hungry blah, blah, blah. So tonight I made soup with onions, potatoes, carrots, chicken and garlic. After the battle to get her to the table, I told her to just eat the "juice". After a while I decided to help her and surprisingly after just a little struggling, I put some in her mouth and...nothing. Usually she gags and throws up every time I force feed her (do I sound like a mean mom yet?). So we ate the broth for a while and Clifton found her a tiny carrot and put it in her mouth and again-no gagging! She ate all the carrots in her bowl and then tried the potatoes (after I told her I would buy her a little bag of M&Ms). So just in case anyone was wondering, miracles have not ceased at the Rogers'. :)
